In the morning we went to the patient hotel, to eat breakfast, and for James to see the doctor to get signed out and have lunch. I/we had planned it, I wanted to go home early as long as it was safe for James. Nowadays you can go home after 6 hours, we were there for 12 hours. Going home was nice, I was exhausted of course but I/we wanted him in our home and for all the kids to see him before the weekend came and they were scattered over the weekend. Elliott (ET), Timothy (T), Colin (C) and Neville (N) came home first to greet him. It was a very nice moment - they had been waiting almost just as long and seen me in more pain than usual. Nigel went to fetch Mårten (M), Emil (E) and Sofia (S). They had their proud moment too to greet him and finally see the baby we had been talking about.
James showed a bit of a temper he went from sleep to full crying. He was blue on his feet and the hands. But all mine had that before because it takes some time for the circulation to really kick in. Blankets and extra socks was what we helped him with. I struggled to get him to breast feed more than the first time. He had not much of a searching reflex and when he had he fell asleep. Also very usual in babies the first 24-36 hours.,,,to be continued
